Le Poème de la semaine
Paul Verlaine – Il pleure dans mon cœur
This poem will follow you like soft rain on a quiet afternoon. Its musicality, its restrained sadness, so delicate and yet so deep, never fails to move me. It captures that strange melancholy that descends without cause, when our hearts seem to cry without reason.

Tip: Listen first, then read. Then listen again. Repetition isn’t just good for memory, it brings rhythm, pronunciation, and emotion alive.
Let yourself feel the French as much as you study it.
